tion 23 may be used in this operation to probrought into engagement with the lower surface of the upper jamb U of the frame with the forwardly extending portions 23 of one of the gauge arms in contact with the side of the casing and with the rear face of the gauge plateconfronting the side edge of the upper jamb U. Then with a pencil or scribei', the edge and adjacent port-ions of the face of the side casings S are marked. It will be obvious that if a rosette is to be provided at the junction of the side casing t5 and head casing H and for this reason the casings must be squared off in alignment with the margin, this may be accomplished by placing the gauge against the proper jamb and utilizing the edge 25 of the arm to provide the necesary indication of the point ofcut. By using the corresponding portion of the arm 23, a squarlng cut indication may likewise be provided. Where thecasings are merely to be brought together at an angle of n the gauge is applied to one jamb while the casing corresponding the other amb, is being gauged, as shown in Figureti, that is to say, if the head casing H is to be gauged, the gauge is placed against the side jamb so that an arm 20 thereof overlies the head casing at which time by marking along the edge 28, the

The edge of the porvide the squaring cut indication in the manner above described. The casings are then removed for cutting and while removed, the gauge is employed to mark the margins upon the edges of the jambs. Indoing this, the rear face of the gauge plate 11 is brought into engagement with the edge of the jamb while the upper face 26 of the jamb plate is engaged with the side face of the jamb. A pencil or other marking implement is then inserted at the conjunction of the arms 20 and more particularly the upper edge of one ofthese arms with the gauge 15 and the entire device shifted bodily along the jamb, the, pencil held in this position. marking the j amb throughout its length or, if desired, marking the jamb at spaced points along its length to provide a guide line to which the casing may be set.

It will be obvious that a device of this character is capable of a considerable range of change and modification without departing from the spirit of my invention and I accordingly do not limit myself to such specific structure except as hereinafter claimed.

I claim 1. A casing gauge for use in casing windows, doors and the like comprising a plate one face of which is adapted to flatly abut the face of a jamb and havinga flange adapted to flatlv abut the edge of the jamb and a gauge plate transversely adjustable upon the flange having an arm projecting beyond one end edge of the flange, means for securing the gauge plate in adjusted positions upon the flange, said arm having an edge thereof parallel to the jamb engaging face of the plate.

2. A casing gauge for use in casing windows, doors and the like comprising a plate one face of which is adapted to flatly abut the face of a jamb and having a flange adapted to flatly abut the edge of the jamb and a gauge plate transversely adjustable upon the flange having an arm projecting beyond one end edge of the flange, means for securing the gauge plate in adjusted positions upon the flange, said arm having an edge thereof parallel to the jamb engaging face of the plate, the extremity of said arm being offset from the jamb engaging face of the flange a distance equal to the thickness of the casing to be gauged;

3. A casing gauge for use in casing windows, doors and the like comprising a plate one face of which is adapted to flatly abut the edge of the jamb and a gauge plate transversely adjustable upon the flange having an arm projecting beyond one end edge of the flange, means for securing the gauge plate in adjusted positions upon the flange, said arm having an edge thereof parallel to the jamb engaging face of the plate, the extremity of said armbeing offset from the j amb engaging face of the flange a'distanee equal to the thickness of the casing to be gauged. that portion of the arm next adjacent the gauge plate having its inner face parallel to and forming a continuation of the inner face of the flange, and connected to said extremity by a portion at right agles to the extremity and adapted to abut the side edge of the casing to be gauged.

4. A casing gauge for use in casing windows, doors and the like comprising a plate one face of which is adapted to flatly abut the face of a jamb and having a flange adapted to flatly abut the edge of the jamb, a gauge plate transversely adjustable upon the flange having an arm projecting beyond one end edge of the flange, means for securing the gauge plate inadjusted positions upon the flange, said arm having an edge thereof parallel to the jamb engaging face of the plate, said flange having indicia coacting with said gauge plate to determine the spacing between said edge of the arm and the jamb engaging face of said plate.

5. A casing gauge comprising a, plate having a flange atone side edge thereof and disposed at right angles to the plate, a gauge plate abutting the outer face of the flange and having slots extending transversely thereof, the flange having threaded elements directed through said slots and nuts upon said threaded elements for engaging and holding the gauge plate in adjusted positions, the end edges of the gauge plate haw and having slots extending transversely thereof, the flange plate having threaded elements directed through said slots and nuts upon said threaded elements for en gaging and holding the gauge plate inadjusted positions, the end edges of the gauge plate having projecting outwardly therefrom arms portions of the edges of which are parallel to' the inner face of the plate,

the inner ends ofsaid arms lying in the same plane as the inner face of the flange, the outer ends thereof being offset from the inner face of the flange. a distance equal to the thickness of the casing to be gauged.

7. A casing gauge for use in casing windows. doors and thelike comprising a plate one face of which is adapted to flatly abut the face of a jamb and havinga flange adapted to flatly abut the edge. of the jamb and a gauge plate transversely adjustable upon the flange having an arm projecting beyond one end edge of the flange, means,

for securing the gauge plate in adjusted positions upon the flange, said arm having an edge thereof parallel to the jamb engaging face of the plate, said edge of the arm having an outstanding lug an edge of whlch is at an angle of to said edge of the arm. 7

8. A casing gauge for use in casing windows, doors and the like comprising a plate one face of which is adapted to flatly abut the face of a jamb and having a flange adapted to flatly abut the edge of the jamb and a gauge plate transversely adjustable upon the flange having an arm projecting beyond one end edge of the flange, means for securing the gauge plate in adjusted positions upon the flange, said arm having an edge thereof parallel to the jamb engaging face of the plate, the extremity of said arm being offset from the jamb engaging face of the flange a distance equal to the thickness of the casing to be gauged, that portion of the arm next'adjacent the gauge plate having its inner faceparallel to and forming a continuation of the inner face of the flange, and connected to said extremity by a portion at right angles to the extremity and adapted to abut the side edge of the casing to be gauged, said arm having upon said edge a lug an edge of which is at 415 to said edge of the arm and joins with said arm in alignment with the outer face of sai right angular portion.

9. A casing gauge for use in casing windows, doors and the'like comprising a plate adapted to abut the face of a j amb and havjamb, a gauge plate adjustable uponthe flange having an arm-projecting toone side of theflange, means for securing the gauge plate in adjusted positions upon the flange, said arm having a portion of an edge theremg a flange adapted to abut the edge of the of parallel to the jamb engaging face of the plate and a. second portion of said edge at 45 to the engaging face of the plate. In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature.
